I am very pleased with the way this painting turned out, the combination of complementary colors blue and orange, with the bright orange of the child's bathing suit bringing the viewers eye to the first focal point, and the dark of the dog bringing the eye to the second one, it really works for me. Of course, it also satisfies my sense of humor, which needs to be done and is a primary element in many of my paintings. I hope you enjoy it! This painting is sold.

Best known for her bovine renditions, with unique compositions and contemporary views, Denise has combined her love of animals and art in oil for the past 20 years.
Denise's focus for the past several years has been cows because "Cows make me smile. I seriously can't look at one and hold back a smile. I don't just see an animal, I see a personality, and that is what I am working to present in my paintings of cows." In 2006 Denise received a commission from the California Milk Advisory Board to paint their famous Happy Cows of the Real California Milk campaign. This led to becoming "The Official Happy Cow Artist", as seen on their website.
Her creative process begins with field work, taking reference photos. Cows being a favorite subject means "field work" can be taken literally, and involves careful stepping!
With a signature "painterly realism" style Denise breathes life
into her subjects, often bringing viewer comments of how "you could just reach out and touch them" and "I expect them to mooo".
